Published on

SPD_START-UP_uk

This issue of Private Sector & Development magazine is devoted to venture capital and the world of start-ups in Africa. It looks at a growing sector that set a new investment record in 2017.

With some USD 560m raised by over 120 African start-ups in the new technologies sector, 2017 broke a new record for venture capital investments on the continent. This marked increase compared to 2016 (+53%) not only gives us a glimpse of the huge potential for investors in Africa, it also allows us to see venture capital as an essential and credible driver to meet the development challenges on the continent.
